House of Dub VW Club monthly meet, June.

The House of Dub VW club hold their monthly meet at the Globe Inn, a picturesque pub situated next to the Grand Union Canal in the rural village of Linslade, in Bedfordshire. We have had a few of the House of Dub club members attend our (Outcast VW Club) monthly club meets recently so I thought it would be nice to see if we could get a few of us to cruise the 10 miles or so over to their meet, to show our support.

A few of the outcast members at our usualmeeting place ready for the cruise over toThe House of Dub. The red beetle belongsto Elliott, who is a H.O.D. member, but cameto Aylesbury just to join the cruise back to the House of Dub.!

Access to the Globe Inn is via a small singletrack road, which goes over the Grand Unioncanel and then you have to drive down thetowpath.. it's not for the faint hearted.

Kevin was part of our convoy in his greenand cream T4. This is such a nice lookingbus.

This is ideal for Kevin and his family to enjoythe odd day out here and there and even ifthey choose to stay over somewhere.

Kevin proudly displays the HOD logo in hiswindscreen.

Elliott was also part of our convoy in his superclean cherry red beetle. This is one of thosecars that always looks so clean.

Great reflections in the deep gloss paint.

A new addition was this single yellow spotlight. This really does set the front off of his 1970 beetle nicely.

Steve and Pauline came over to the HOD forthe first time in their surfer / skater style bug.Hope you both enjoyed your first visit to theclub meet, and hopefully we'll see you bothagain soon.

Loving the surfboards on the roofrack. I'dlike something like that for my bus.

Richard was at the meeting quite early in hisvery low, bright red Polo.

This is so low, it must be quite a challengeto get down the single track road to the pub.

Dan and Simon came along in their equallylow Golf.

This early rat looking rag top beetle belongs to Steve, and I think I'm right in saying that is was once the cover car on a VW mag. I justlove those semaphore indicators.

OK, it's a bit ratty looking but that, I think, justadd's to its cool look.

Spike came along in the House of Dub work-horse vehicle, an army green VW passat whichis of course, lowered.

Yet more new faces at the club, this time itwas John who came in his white T4. I hada quick chat to John who said he was just in the progress of prepping the body for a re-spray. Hopefully next month it'll lookcompletely different.

Preperation is the name of the game, the better the prep work, the better the paint finish.

John brought his mate Matt along, in his T4.Another work in progress vehicle, with moreprepping of the bodywork, but it's got tolook worse before it looks better. Hope to see you both again at the HOD and the Outcastclub meets.

Matt has done a lot of body prepping on hisT4, which I'm sure will look great once it'spainted.

A regular at the club meet is Ben and hislovely white T5. This is such a lovely bus,which Ben has done a lot of work on.So that was the House of Dub June monthlymeet. It was definitely Beetle themed thismonth, which is great as normally they area bit thin on the ground. Overall a great nightwith good friends, old and new.. by the way,a personal apology to Simone and Brendanand Deborah for not saying hello, but it wasa bit busy and I got caught up. Hopefully see you all next month to make amends.
